Killing the US Postal Service is unconstitutional even if a quarter-million pandemic deaths isn't
Trump just said, and I quote: “absentee good, mail-in very very bad.” (Orange man… bad) President Donald Trump said the quiet part out loud, admitting he’s intentionally withholding money from the U.S. Postal Service to undermine its ability to handle mail-in voting in the 2020 election. “They need that money in order to make the Post…

what, another Trump Presser? LiveBlog
“To Joe, I would say stop playing politics with the virus. Too serious. Partisan politics has no place here,” the president says while delivering an attack on his election opponent from the White House briefing room. Expect a brag on the Israel UAE agreement, a dodge on sabotaging the postal service, and workshopping on attacking Biden-Harris….
For Trump, quiet parts get said out loud on the scorched-earth path to the bunker: Nobel Prize!
Unhingery abounds at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. When it comes to voting rights in our pandemic election year, President Donald Trump has a habit of saying the quiet part out loud. Is it a short-circuit in the super-ego or Trump jettisoning the filters because there are 80 days left. And the distractions emerge, because doesn’t Trump deserve the Nobel Prize (his COVID “policy” promotes…

Trump's outreach to suburban women continues with 'mad woman,' 'she yaps,' and 'ditzy airhead wife'
Oh, yeah, the “suburban housewife” is going to be voting for Donald Trump, all right. Suburban women just love this kind of rhetoric. In one morning, Trump out-gaffed Joe Biden for the rest of the year, referring to VP candidate Kamala Harris as a “mad woman” and saying Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a dumb person who “yaps.” Oh,…
Trump blurts out his true motivation for kneecapping the Postal Service
It’s like Mr. Burns from The Simpsons is running for president. Or maybe Homer. Or some ungodly combination of the two. The Washington Post: Speaking with Maria Bartiromo on Fox Business Network on Thursday morning, Trump appeared to confirm that he opposes Democrats’ proposed funding for mail-in balloting and the U.S. Postal Service in order…
Zombie Herman Cain tweets from beyond, will he vote absentee?
Herman Cain’s twitter account is now tweeting without acknowledging that he has passed away. Can verified accounts outlive their owners? Hopefully he won’t be requesting any mail-in ballots. Not exactly Timothy Leary but apparently 9-9-9 truly is an inverted version of 666 and reminds us that Herman Cain’s denial of COVID-19’s contagion proved to be fatal. x…

“…suburban stay-at-home wives make up about 4 percent of the US population” Will they save Trump?
Trump is trying to scare suburbanites perhaps on the basis of race (low-income housing signifying more diversity) but today he suggested that middle class PoC would agree because Trump probably believes, “who doesn’t hate the poor?” The problem comes from simultaneously insulting women he deems “nasty”. x Watched @billmaher last week for the first time in…
yet another Trump presser – more chicken-in-every-pot promises
Q: What do you mean by an “invasion” in the suburbs if VP Joe Biden is elected? President Trump: “They're going to destroy suburbia. And 30 percent of the people in suburbia are minorities. They say 35 percent, but I like to cut it lower. This one’s importance is in opposition to the Biden-Harris joint…

Trump thought Biden would pick Karen Bass because she wouldn't 'outshine' him
Apparently, Donald Trump can’t conceive of a running mate who isn’t the quasi-vertebrate equivalent of premasticated Cream of Wheat. Four years ago, Trump chose Mike Pence, who’s basically invisible when he’s not conspicuously smooching Trump’s ass. And being the sick, sick little man he is, Trump thought Joe Biden was just as craven and megalomaniacal…

Trump's senility, dementia, and decrepitude tell you how much he's the demi-god of a QAnon religion
Who dares be nasty to god-emperor Trump and his toady, Mike Pence (and his Mother). James Carville says he wouldn’t be surprised about what Trump would do, including replacing Pence with Nikki Haley, the odds of which seem highly remote because of the need for midwestern states and evangelicals (she’s on the board at +500…
